00:50 15/4/2021 - Πηγή: Armynow

National nonprofit American Corporate Partners (ACP) works with post-9/11 Veterans to help them find meaningful employment after military service.

In ACP’s most recent study of participants in its one year mentorship program, the average starting salary for Veterans who utilized ACP was more than $86,000, and importantly, more than 86% of Veterans are still at their same company one year later. The program not only helps Veterans find great jobs, but the right jobs

for them.

ACP’s roster of mentors is unmatched – senior executives from hundreds of America’s top companies provide volunteer mentors to ACP. All industries and career paths are represented and Veterans are able to explore career opportunities, learn about job search tips and tricks, gain resume and interviewing skills, and get connected directly to employers who are hiring.

ACP has 20,000 success stories of Veterans who have had their transitions positively impacted by participating in the program. One recent success is U.S. Army Veteran Didier Muvandimwe, who enlisted in 2016 as a power generation engineer specialist and recently transitioned back into civilian life. With the help of his ACP mentor, Didier secured a position in Bank of America’s Veteran Associate Program, a rotational program that will give him exposure to on-the-job training and networking opportunities with senior leaders at the bank.
